When chemists think about polymerization, they typically envision a wormlike polymer growing smoothly and continuously from a catalyst. But the actual view of how polymer growth unfolds has remained ...

Rsearchers who conducted their experiment in a Brisbane backyard have found an unprecedented methodology for the production of microspheres. QUT researchers who conducted their experiment in a ...

Whether natural or synthetic, polymers — large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers — exhibit complex structures and properties that make them useful in a wide range of applications.

Beth Harris, a Raleigh mom, long-time science educator and creator of Fort Kits for Kids, is back with another fun and easy experiment that you can do at home with your kids. All you need is a plastic ...

Last semester, assistant professor of chemistry Brooks Abel piloted a lab for Chemistry 12A, “Organic Chemistry,” to demonstrate recycling on a chemical level. Specifically, students decomposed ...

State Key Laboratory of Polymer Science and Technology, CIAC CAS has the following research output in the current window (1 October 2024 - 30 September 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to ...

If you look closely at a brick house you’ll notice something very peculiar. All the bricks are layered in a specific pattern. This helps make the house strong! In science we can see something similar ...

For the past three years a Sandia research team has been investigating the performance of piezoelectric polymer films that might one day become ultra-light mirrors in space telescopes. In 2007, an ...

In science, an unexpected result is not always a failure, but sometimes an opportunity. I found that out as part of my position as a chemist who makes industrial polymers, or plastics. A routine ...

Albuquerque, N.M. — For the past three years a Sandia research team headed by Mat Celina has been investigating the performance of various piezoelectric polymer films that might one day serve as ultra ...
